Thanks for sharing your questions. They are all very pertinent ones and reflect your care and concern over students' learning and holistic development. 

I have purchased books entitled "Advancing Differentiation" by Richard Cash whom I had a chance to attend his masterclass during the 2019 DI Summit in Sg. The book contains all the strategies that can target different students and questions related to DI principles and concepts. There's also digital content links with a variety of resources in the book that can come in handy.

Hope you will find the resource useful. You can keep the book till the end of the PLC/TLC cycle just to note. Happy learning. 
Love,
Teresa :)]]> 2022-04-29 00:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pepsplc2022/Bookmarks/wish/2163485907 https://padlet.com/pepsplc2022/Bookmarks/wish/2199038014 DI is to have different processes or content in group work to help all students meet their learning goals for Maths.]]> 2022-05-25 08:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pepsplc2022/Bookmarks/wish/2199038014 https://padlet.com/pepsplc2022/Bookmarks/wish/2199039088 Students might not be performing the tasks or discussions needed]]> 2022-05-25 08:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/pepsplc2022/Bookmarks/wish/2199039088 https://padlet.com/pepsplc2022/Bookmarks/wish/2199040925 Differentiated instructions should allow students to be engage in group activity and master the concept to achieve success. ]]> 2022-05-25 08:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/pepsplc2022/Bookmarks/wish/2199040925 https://padlet.com/pepsplc2022/Bookmarks/wish/2199043780 Students have difficult expressing themselves.
